What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Oceanography
- Ecology
- Climate change
His primary areas of investigation include Oceanography, Phytoplankton, Chlorophyll, Ocean color and SeaWiFS.
His study in Oceanography is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ecology and Data assimilation.
He has researched Phytoplankton in several fields, including Thermocline, Ocean gyre and Chlorophyll a.
His Chlorophyll study combines topics in areas such as Spring bloom, Optics and Southern Hemisphere.
His Ocean color research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Spectrometer, Fluorescence, Chlorophyll fluorescence, Nadir and Remote sensing.
His research investigates the connection with SeaWiFS and areas like Upwelling which intersect with concerns in Sea surface temperature.
His most cited work include:
- An overview of MODIS capabilities for ocean science observations (401 citations)
- Location and dynamics of the Antarctic Polar Front from satellite sea surface temperature data (328 citations)
- Plankton patchiness: biology in the physical vernacular (327 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Mark R. Abbott mainly investigates Oceanography, Phytoplankton, Climatology, Chlorophyll and Mesoscale meteorology.
His research in Oceanography intersects with topics in Biogeochemical cycle and Ocean gyre.
Mark R. Abbott interconnects Biomass and Diatom in the investigation of issues within Phytoplankton.
He works mostly in the field of Climatology, limiting it down to topics relating to Water column and, in certain cases, Late winter.
His Chlorophyll study also includes fields such as
- Fluorescence, which have a strong connection to Light intensity and Photosynthesis,
- Ocean color which is related to area like Remote sensing.
His Mesoscale meteorology research incorporates elements of Coastal Zone Color Scanner, Submarine pipeline and Advanced very-high-resolution radiometer.

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Mark R. Abbott mainly focuses on Oceanography, Ocean gyre, Photic zone, Photosynthesis and Economic geography.
In his works, Mark R. Abbott performs multidisciplinary study on Oceanography and Library science.
His Ocean gyre study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Stratification, Pacific decadal oscillation, Radiative forcing, Chlorophyll a and Plankton.
His Photic zone study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Trend surface analysis, Mixed layer, Photosynthetic efficiency and Chlorophyll b.
His Photosynthesis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Biological system and Deep chlorophyll maximum.
Between 2006 and 2014, his most popular works were:
- Impact of climate forcing on ecosystem processes in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (61 citations)
- Satellite Remote Sensing in Support of an Integrated Ocean Observing System (22 citations)
- Temporal and vertical variability in photosynthesis in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (15 citations)
